Core Points
BVR is right when recurring test series must run robustly and be clearly documented.
For recurring test campaigns, part mapping and standardized hardness testing when local material data and classical hardness testing need to run in one robust workflow.
Superspeed optional
For high throughput, configurations from roughly 20 seconds per point are possible.
0.2-3000 kgf
Integrated hardness testing covers the macro-load range broadly for standardized routines.
XY table plus camera
Mapping, grids and recurring point sequences remain traceable even across many points.
Details
i3D® BVR for automated test series with hardness testing
What matters directly in the setup.
Automated cross table, macro-load hardness testing, local material data and optional 3D measurement. That is what BVR is built for.
- Local yield strength Rᶦₚ₀,₂ and tensile strength Rᶦₘ from the Imprint Test according to DIN SPEC 4864 and ASTM E3499 without tensile specimens
- Integrated hardness testing for standardized Vickers, Brinell and Knoop routines with high test loads
- Automated XY cross table, overview camera and optional 6-position revolver for repeatable multi-point campaigns
- Optional white light interferometry for optical 3D measurement of surface and test indentation geometry
- around 72 seconds per i3D® measurement point in standard mode
- optional superspeed configuration from roughly 20 seconds per point
- hardness test loads from 0.2 to 3000 kgf for classical macro-load testing routes
- currently around 17 weeks delivery time, procurement as new device, purchase or leasing
Software
i3D® software and KB Hardwin keep serial testing and hardness workflow in one line.
For recurring test campaigns, local material data and classical hardness evaluation stay together in one robust software and reporting route. That is exactly what makes BVR strong for laboratory and release routines.
- local yield strength Rᶦₚ₀,₂ and tensile strength Rᶦₘ directly from the i3D® evaluation
- classical hardness testing with automatic evaluation, autofocus and light control
- suited for PDF, Excel or structured serial reports in the laboratory workflow
What BVR changes in day-to-day work
BVR is strong when test campaigns recur and both hardness values and local material data need to be documented cleanly.
That makes the system especially suitable where process proximity, repeatability and robust laboratory routine matter more than a pure entry-level workstation.
- strong for serial testing, mapping, welds, HAZ and cross sections
- well suited for laboratory-near production and release routines
- useful for recurring campaigns with clear documentation requirements
Procurement and options
BVR is currently planned as a new device with optional modules such as WLI, superspeed and software packages.
That allows the platform to be built around robust standard routines and expanded toward greater data depth when needed.
- new devices as the current procurement route
- purchase or leasing possible
- WLI module optional
- superspeed and software packages optional
Contacts
Clarify serial logic, test scope and options directly in conversation.
If test load, part zone or campaign pattern is roughly clear, it can be checked quickly whether BVR is technically the right fit.

Compare BVR directly with the adjacent system classes.
That makes it clearer whether BVR, mBV, WLI Pro, Eco or Inline is the better testing architecture.
